New Arrival

The DRD Planning Commission would like to congratulate Brent Nieter & his wife Kim on the arrival of their first born:

Blake Alan Nieter
[stats: 8 lbs, 12 oz., 21 in., mile PR: 6:03]

As of Saturday afternoon both mum & child were doing well.

This now brings the list of potential DRD 2028 participants to 8 with 2 in the oven.
This is the breakdown:

  • Frosh Zealand - 3 with 1 on the way
  • Mini-Zealand - 1 with 1 on the way
  • Juggernaut DiCarlo - 1
  • Michael Arnulf - 1
  • Austrian Steve - 1
  • Amos Kite - nil
  • Khan-Man - nada [which is surprising considering all his wives & concubines]
  • B. Ball-ard - nope
side note: Do you guys remember after the Y2K event when the Zealand Bros. were out there trying to convince everyone that we should add "baby making" as a twelfth event?

As I recall we turned them down because no one knew Latin well-enough to figure out what a 12-event sport would be called...

Obviously we dodged a bullet there. Any event that would include "baby making" would be heavily weighted toward the Canadians & would have given them a clear advantage.
